Narrative

The unwitnessed EE stated that when he was lifting a roll of fabric, he mis-stepped and twisted his back. He was taken to the hospital, received Tx and injectable meds and scrips. He failed to show up 2 days later for follow-up visit with Dr. and we discovered that he had taken employment with another employer and denied any problem with his back.
